** i think that what richard is getting at here is the idea of polyphinc music in something like renaissance vocal music (as well as many others) where the *lines* and counterpoint are more important than harmony . . . mostly because (and i could be wrong here) these types of folks aren't/weren't necessarily thinking about harmony - - functional or otherwise.
anyway, that's my guess.

-Also, there are times in polyphonic music when it
might be more useful to refer to a set of simutaneous
notes as a "simultaneity" rather than a "chord."-
i agree, but the end result is a chord, wouldn't you
say. so effectively, there's no difference, yes? i
guess it depends on how you look at a given
composition. i would think that a composer would
focus on the group result (i.e. chords).
